Feito pelo anfitrião para o Workawayer (Fernando)
Fernando stayed with us for around 2 months, where he mostly helped out with our two lively boys and also did gardening and housework.
He always strives to complete his tasks to everybody’s satisfaction. He is an excellent playmate for children and offered activities like arts and crafts, board games, creative play and outdoors (soccer,

We wish the next host family a fabulous time with Fernando, enjoy his supportive, reliable and thoughtful personality!

I spent nearly two months with this incredible family, and it was a truly enriching experience. From the start, they made me feel welcome and part of their daily life. Fionn and Bodhi are very creative, well-mannered children with a passion for sports, play, and hands-on activities. They don’t use screens, which allows them to fully enjoy all

My tasks included looking after the children, playing with them, helping with household maintenance, and doing some gardening. Everything flowed smoothly and collaboratively. Paul and Janne were always very communicative, with active listening and always making sure I felt comfortable. The food was also consistently healthy and delicious, which made me feel right at home.
I would recommend this family to any Workawayer seeking a warm, active experience full of good moments. Thank you for everything!

We are extremely satisfied with Carmen's 3.5 months with our family. Carmen was very tidy and clean, maintaining a pleasant living space.

I was part of Paul and Janne's family for one month, in a wonderful sunny spring period.
This was my first experience with workaway.
From the beginning they were very kind and helpful for any needs.
They always asked me if I wanted to take part in their activities ( sports, trips, meals with friends...) whithout ever being intrusive.
Sometimes we
… read more cooked together; they are happy to try specialties from other countries.
From them I did some fun gardening and DIY construction work, sometimes with the help of Paul and his friendly father.
My English was not the top, but with their help I feel myself improved.
Their children are growing up very smart, they speak both German and English at home.
The natural environment around the house is spectacular, especially for those who love the ocean and quiet environments (Inchydoney area is incredible).
They provided me a bike to ride and if you like surfing they also have a workawayer board ( there is also a surf school at Inchydoney).
Definitely very positive experience!
I thank them for trusting me to do some delicate work, for the super hospitality and for treating me like a family member.
Hope to see you againg!

Albert was a fabulous workaway. He was extremely adaptable and learned new skills really quickly. He was highly motivated and always was fun to be around. He has some great ideas for interior design which we hope to use on our project. Albert was also a lovely addition to our family and we wish him the best in the future!!

I stayed in Paul and Janne's house for a month in May-June and it was an exelent experience.

The job in the house was great, being able

Annika and Lukas were excellent Workaways. They were always very considerate and made a huge effort to help out whenever they could. They are good humoured and we enjoyed spending time together.

My boyfriend and I lived with Janne, Paul and their boys for six weeks, from February to March. The Stones welcomed us as a part of their family which helped us feel at home the minute we arrived. Daily life was always a fun and lively experience as the children are two energetic curious boys who love to play with everyone. The duties concerning

The work in itself was extremely interesting and we learned a lot helping with the renovation and caring for the garden. However, I would only recommend applying for a stay for people who are interested in or have experience with house and garden work as this is the main field the family needs a hand with at the moment. The city centre of Clonakilty wasn’t far away and we used the bus route to Cork and other places. This part of Ireland was, even in winter, a very beautiful spot and we are grateful to have been able to live there, with this family, even if only for a short while.Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

Tara was a great Workaway. She was happy to help wherever was needed weather it was gardening, cooking or playing with the kids. She even brought her architect skills and helped us with the design of our house renovation. It was a bit of a hectic time moving house but she was more than able for the challenge of the move.

I stayed a month with the wonderful family. As soon as I arrived I felt very welcomed, they were always very friendly and made me feel at ease.

I am very grateful that I had the chance to stay with such an incredible family!Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

Ian was a superb addition to our family. He certainly is not afraid of getting stuck in and was a big help on our house renovation project.

My 5 weeks at Paul and Janne's was an interesting experience. I was made to feel very welcome by the family and the food was excellent! The jobs were varied and I picked up some building knowledge too which was a bonus. The house is set in a beautiful location and if you're a keen surfer then this would be heaven for you!

Paul and Janne are very hospitable and will always go out of their way to help you when required. They kindly took me to a couple of local tourist attractions too which was a real treat.
The house is going to be amazing when it's finished and I'm intrigued to see how it looks when completed (although hopefully I'll be coming back to visit you guys way before then!...😁).
Thank you both for everything and all the best for the future....

We stayed with Janne and Paul for 5 weeks in December and January 2020/21.

Janne and Paul always paid heed to only give us tasks suitable for our abilities and assured us a high degree of flexibility and trust.
We would always repeat this great experience and hope to keep in touch with them.
We wish nothing but the best for the four of you!Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

Mara and Johanna stayed with us for 5 weeks and it was a big pleasure to have them.

As they lived along with our family life, the girls spent a loooot of time with our two lively children (1 and 4years). Our kids fell in love with them

Justin is a fantastic person to live with! He is kind, fun and very responsible. It was hard to let him go after nearly 3 months, as he became a part of the family.
Justin was a big support at any time. Besides the agreed tasks during the day, he looked left and right, where help was needed. As a very clean person, Justin supported us in kitchen

Justin was a great Workaway and will stay a good friend of ours, who is always welcome in our house with his family and friends.

Wow what a family!
It was my first experience with Workaway and I couldn't have picked a better family. Paul and Janne are amazing people and perfect hosts, as they make you feel right at home, plus you will have a lot of fun with both of them. The kids are also terrific. They considered me as a play buddy from minute one and did so until I had to

The work is not really hard and there is something for everyone. From mowing the lawn, to weeding, to doing small projects in the garden, you can spend a lot of time outdoors. Tidying up the house, helping with the cooking or keeping busy with the kids is great for bad weather days. At Dunmore Beach House, everyone finds a task to contribute their share.
Especially with the children you can do a lot. Be it tractor races around the house, playing hide and seek in the garden or have dance parties in the kitchen are only few things for great fun. The two of them always keep you on your toes and you have lots of laughs.
And after work or on the weekends, Janne and Paul like to take you on little trips and show you the great area they live in...or you just enjoy one of the beaches and the sea, which is right outside the front door.
The bike is also always available to go shopping or spend the day in Clonakilty, which is only a few minutes away. Likewise, you could go on small bike tours in the area. Here just the hint, it can be quite steep. However, it is super worth it because you will see great cliffs, forests and landscapes.
By doing a lot with the family, I met a lot of their friends, which I found especially great because I was able to improve my English and the neighborhood became even more home-like.
I highly recommend to be a Workaway at Janne and Paul's, as they are wonderful people and awesome hosts, plus you get the chance to live in a place where others go on vacation.Só é possível entrar em contato com Workawayers com assinaturas ativas.

Noah stayed with us for nearly 3 months and became a big host brother for our little kids after a few seconds. With his calm but cheerful attitude he was great as a play companion as much as a childminder who was able to face the easy and the difficult moments around two young brothers.

Thanks Noah for the beautiful stairs you created in the 3 steep corners of our garden! Everybody loves them and thinks we had a landscaper for the jobs.
We hope that many other families/ hosts will have the opportunity to meet his young man and share many fun moments.

I spend two wonderful months with this lovely family. From the very first moment they made me feel like a part of the family. Janne and Paul would do anything to make me feel comfortable.
